Seems they're charging 199 euro now for the 20k Zen option, instead of the usual 179. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. :(

    US dollar causing anyone who doesn't live in the US to pay more :(. It is what it is.

    But it's never been exchange-rate based (else it would fluctuate all the time).

    I thought it was cause of the recent Yuan devaluation over in China!?!? I dunno...

    I have now over 80 game collection on GOG.com that's worth far less then that. I have to agree.

    Edit: The blame should be on PWE, not Cryptic however.

    There's items in the Champions Online Zen store which are worth 500 zen, yet cost 3000 zen, and have for over a year.

    They've never been quite sane.
    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Well, when the game started, the Euro was up at around 1.4 euros per dollar. With all the Greek mess it's down to 1.1. The cash must flow, and Cryptic likes their dollars.

    Seems my trip to Italy will be very cheap is things keep going the way they are.

    STO isn't canon, and neither are any of the books.

    Every game has a few flaws but if you enjoy it you should support it financially, it isn't subscription based anymore after all. If you enjoy it help support it, if you don't enjoy it then why the TRIBBLE are you here?

    It's really that simple.

    I want to support it but then I'd go broke lmao.

    Then it's not the game you have a problem with but your financial management skills. Know your limit.

    It's not uncommon for me to spend the 179 euros once or twice a month. Just wanna know why Cryptic decided to up the price by $20, is all (which is 2/3rd of an entire T6 ship).

    Not Cryptic, PW. They just started (a week ago) to streamline and "Globalize" their virtual currency.

    Catagorically speaking, Yes, and they're really greedy as well. But they wonder why people really don't like them much... Go Figure!

    Its actualy a bad business model. If it where more reasonable price, more ppl would buy it, creating greater profit. Lobes seem to be lacking in size =P
